As a Product Engineer at our Europe Completion Center (ECC) , you will actively contribute to increased efficiency, productivity, and quality in our modification processes. Your work ensures that our technical processes run smoothly and that our products meet the highest standards. You will also ensure that the required modifications comply with all technical and regulatory requirements in alignment with our factories, including our plant in Changwon, South Korea. Given our international operations, it's essential that you communicate effectively in both English and Dutch with our various partners.

 

Key responsibilities in your role include:

What do we expect from you?

·  A technical background with a completed higher professional education (HBO) in a technical field.
·  Relevant work experience in a similar role.
·  Excellent command of both Dutch and English, spoken and written.
·  Knowledge of construction machines or similar technical systems is a plus. If not, we’ll be happy to teach you!

 

Research shows that women tend to apply only when they meet 100% of the requirements, while men apply at 60%. If you recognize yourself in this challenge but are unsure about meeting all the criteria, we still encourage you to apply or contact us.

 

What do we offer?

·  A comprehensive benefits package, including a bonus scheme, excellent pension plan, and disability insurance.
·  A focus on work-life balance, with at least 30 days off, the option to purchase extra days, and the flexibility to work from home.
